XIV. Mathematics, Grade 8

Grade 8 Mathematics TestThe spring 2008 grade 8 MCAS Mathematics test was based on learning standards in the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework (2000). The Framework identifies five major content strands, listed below.

■ Number Sense and Operations

■ Patterns, Relations, and Algebra

■ Geometry

■ Measurement

■ Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

The grades 7–8 learning standards for each of these strands appear on pages 62–66 of the Mathematics Curriculum Framework, which is available on the Department Web site at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/ current.html.

In Test Item Analysis Reports and on the Subject Area Subscore pages of the MCAS School Reports and District Reports, Mathematics test results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the five Framework content strands listed above.

Test Sessions

The MCAS grade 8 Mathematics test included two separate test sessions. Each session included multiple-choice and open-response questions. Session 1 also included short-answer questions.

Reference Materials and Tools

Each student taking the grade 8 Mathematics test was provided with a plastic ruler and a grade 8 Mathematics Reference Sheet. A copy of the reference sheet follows the final question in this chapter. An image of the ruler is not reproduced in this publication.

During session 2, each student had sole access to a calculator with at least four functions and a square root key. Calculator use was not allowed during session 1.

The use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former limited English proficient students only, during both Mathematics test sessions. No other reference tools or materials were allowed.

Cross-Reference Information

The table at the conclusion of this chapter indicates each item’s reporting category and the Framework learning standard it assesses. The correct answers for multiple-choice and short-answer questions are also displayed in the table.

DIRECTIONSThis session contains fifteen multiple-choice questions, five short-answer questions, and two open-response questions. Mark your answers to these questions in the spaces provided in your Student Answer Booklet.
